OceanFront 2BD, Stunning Views, AC Pool - Mahana 501

Location and views can’t be beat

This unit was perfect for us. Loved the location. Loved the beach. Loved walking the trail and seeing the vendors. Loved walking to Duke's for lunch/dinner. I had to 'manage' the washer and dryer, not my favorite bur at least they had one. Everything in the complex was well cared for. The grills, the pool, the hot tub. I would stay here again.

Beautiful Ocean View and Pool View. We could see Sea Turtles from the Balcony. Would definitely rent this Unit again in the future.

The location is premiere! Within walking distance for reasonable groceries and restaurants. Parking lot is big - lots of spaces. The property is so close to all resorts yet felt very private. Morning runs and walks on the boardwalk were convenient and beautiful. Great kitchen - we cooked in a lot. Window-balcony-the view!! The elevator was fast. It was amazing to walk right off the lawn to the beach. Hoping to return…soon!

The view was absolutely amazing. We enjoyed whales every day. Most of the furniture is long on the tooth. Property management had to send out a person to clean the blood and dirt off the arms of the chairs. The floors weren't very clean, so they sent someone to mop. The toilet bowl brush sat directly on the floor next to the toilet. Not sanitary. I asked for someone to remove a two-foot streak of bird poop on the picture window and no one was able to do that. We were told a window cleaning was scheduled March 8th, but that did not happen. The bedroom sliding doors were streaky. One of the living room blinds would not rise to the top. I asked someone to take care of that, but no one did. I had to ask for more silverware. There was barely enough for 2 people. We paid 300.00 for an extension on our checkout but had to call at least three times because new codes they provided didn't work. We therefore wouldn't have access to get back into the room if we had gone to lunch or to the pool. So we stayed in the room all day. If it were updated and cleaner, it would be perfection. Fabulous view. Quiet pool. Duke's Restaurant is a ten-minute walk. Very good food and location. We would stay at Mahana again but in a different unit. We liked the corner room. More windows. Lanai was very private. I believe before guests arrive, the above-mentioned issues should be taken care of, not afterward.

The view and access to the beach!

This condo is very old and in need of significant updating and upkeep. The furniture, fixtures, and overall condition are dated, and there are visible maintenance issues.The most serious issue occurred on our third day. After returning from the beach, we opened the door and were immediately hit with an extremely strong medicinal/alcohol-like smell throughout the condo. The odor was overwhelming and clearly coming from the air-conditioning unit. We felt dizzy and unwell and had to open all windows and doors to ventilate the space.We contacted all listed property contacts due to the seriousness of the issue, especially since we were with our children. We were told someone would inspect the unit, so we left the condo for several hours. After more than 4 hours with no update, we followed up and were told someone had already been there and that “nothing was wrong” and no smell was detected, despite the odor being unmistakable.Customer service later told us there were no alternate accommodations and suggested we stay elsewhere and seek reimbursement later. We were promised follow-up the next day, which never happened. Out of concern for our health, we did not use the air conditioner for the remainder of our stay and kept the windows open instead. There was clearly something wrong with the unit despite management denying it.The only positive is the waterfront location and view, though the ocean directly in front is rocky and not suitable for swimming.We will not be returning

What I liked:-beautiful direct views of the beach from the living interior area and the balcony-great furnishings and decoration-well stocked with kitchen cookware, serving ware, and utensils-in unit washer/dryer-clean interior-grill and pool/hot tub were great amenitiesWhat I didn’t like: -no warning that the AC was not working properly; even with the shades down the apartment was at 80 degrees; not great with a baby; the building sent notice that repairs would take place the day of our departure-only given 4 dishwasher pods for a seven night stay (it won’t kill you to just keep a box of dishwasher detergent under the sink like most short term rentals); ultimately the property manager sent more, but only after having to beg for them-balcony was covered in sand, had to sweep and wash off the balcony myself-guest room ac smells like mildew

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The nicely appointed apartment was roomy and comfortable. The view was amazing. It was a perfect place for nice, relaxing vacation.

Beautiful ocean views. Easy beach access from second set of steps at end of property.

The views were amazing!

We had an amazing time and the views were more than we had ever hoped for! Wanted to rent again, but next years dates weren’t available. Darn!
